From Thalin "you *will* respect my authoriti' (pronounced uh-thor-it-tye)" Athasian:
This scares me as a fair player and has started to pique my interest due to the massive influx of devastating LAG on server 84. It did seem to wane for a while there until a few days ago when the bots accounts were "rounded up" what anecdotellay ensued on my server is the world discussion became full of people complaining that their alliance mates had been banned even though they had NEVER BOTTED nor even knew of the existance of one etc. AND the lag became so devastating the game is unplayable. Your constructions will finish and sit with 00 seconds for 10 minutes. You click on the market and wait 3.5 minutes for the prices to appear. I suspect that theres a little denial of service being ran against evony's servers probably in retaliation for fair/unfair bannings.Those who have had accounts closed due to the use of bots will not have their account restored.
So though I feel if evony runs face-first into a loggerhead of charge-backs that's what they get for conducting business in the way they do, however for the rest of US GUYS who are still playing, I think we should take pause at this "your account will be deleted and you will be banned" attitude towards a large portion of the playing populous.
Generally speaking those who used bots were more adept at utilizing computer skills and computer knowledge. To think that they'll just get their accounts banned, and move on to another game, or never be heard from again is ludicrous. They'll be back even MORE hell bent on cheating the evony system, making life miserable for the MODS, PLAYERS, the whole system in general.
Just like to know what 'yall think cuz I think alot of players got either fairly or *unfairly* banned, and decided, ya know what? how bout a 24/7 FLOOD attack against your evony server from my botnet? Something had to have happened, EVONY couldn't be this disasterously slow if not.
